Strickland House, Vaucluse, Heritage-listed Victorian mansion in Vaucluse, Australia
The sandstone Strickland House occupies 4.8 hectares of coastal land with direct views across Sydney Harbour from its elevated position at 52 Vaucluse Road.
John Frederick Hilly designed this Italianate residence in 1855, which later served as a convalescent home for women from 1915 to 1933.
The mansion represents the evolution of 19th-century architecture in New South Wales, combining Victorian elements with local sandstone construction techniques.
Visitors can access the grounds daily during daylight hours, while the interior opens annually during the National Trust's Heritage Festival.
The property maintains its original harbor relationship and grounds from the 1850s, marking it among the few intact Victorian estates in Sydney.
